Amar&Riley

Amar&Riley is the design studio of Lydia Daum. She holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has been a professional designer since 2007. Her work is inspired by a life-long zeal for archeology, ancient art, and vintage design. She can play the accordion but can't whistle. She wears her granddad's glasses but looks just like her grandma. Amar&Riley was founded in Chicago in 2016. Lydia's husband Simon, also a SAIC grad, joined the fold in 2021. In 2022, they moved their life and life's work to beautiful Bellows Falls, Vermont.
